  • Publication number: 20140301719
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates generally to system and method of data processing that may provide for efficient use of on-chip cache for processing data having a first bit precision and a second bit precision. In some implementations an on-chip cache is configured to store integer data corresponding to a first bit precision in an integer tile and fractional data corresponding to a difference in bit precision between a second bit precision and the first bit precision in a hybrid memory tile.

  • Patent number: 8773587
    Abstract: At least a method and a system are described for providing frame rate upconversion by way of using “short side” or bidirectional interpolation in generating interpolated frames. In a representative embodiment, the method may comprise receiving a first frame of video corresponding to a first frame time and a second frame of the video corresponding to a second frame time, computing a first absolute difference between the first frame time and an interpolated frame time wherein the interpolated frame time temporally is located between the first frame time and the second frame time. The method further comprises using a first motion vector field and the first frame to compute a third frame at the interpolated frame time. The method further comprises outputting the third frame as the interpolated frame at the interpolated frame time if the first absolute difference is less than or equal to a first threshold value.

  • Patent number: 5857181
    Abstract: A procedure for selecting and storing data elements communicated from a common database to users of the database utilizing a communication link between each transmitter and a concomitant receiver accessible by the user. The transmitted information is augmented with attributes which are used at the receiver to select and then store locally only that information of interest to each receiver's user, wherein the attributes and the user selection pattern determine the criteria for storing information locally. Attributes include: utility of each data element in time; interest categories and level of interest for each of the categories determined for the collective users; repeat time to the data element; and a hyperlink to associated data elements.
